On May 3, 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a powerful speech in London condemning apartheid in South Africa and linking it to racial injustice worldwide. Speaking at the London Hilton to an international audience, King declared that the fight for civil rights in the U.S. was inseparable from the global fight against colonialism and racial oppression. His advocacy reinforced the growing international movement against apartheid and emphasized solidarity across borders. The speech helped mobilize greater British and European support for sanctions against South Africa.
